Reflective Blog
I had a fun time working with my group these past few weeks. At first I thought that this project would be difficult and time consuming but after thinking it overall of us figured out ways to make it easier for the whole group. I had a great group that was a bit shy but once we started chatting more they were very open to us and to the group. We all had a fun time and got to get to know each other more as well. When the project began I had some uncertainties as to how the project would actually work and go. When we started to chat we figure out exactly how project would work and what it would have. This project proved my prediction wrong. I thought it would be hard and take up a lot of time but it was actually very easy and took a short amount of time once you took time to think about how it would be structured, you have to be organized.
Even though I had a good time doing this project there was still some things that went wrong in our project. There were also things that went good. Some things that went right were that everyone was responsible enough to post on the wiki so we could all know what was going on in the group. Also everyone got their pictures up on the voice thread and finished exactly what they said that they would do. Also we all followed directions and did our project according to our timeline. Some of the things that did not go well were that not all of us got to get our voice part in on time because we could not get a microphone not al the members of the group got to be available when we were chatting because of technical problems. We still managed but it would have been better if everyone were there.
During my time working with the kids in
Canada I liked a lot of things and I also disliked a lot of things. Some of the things I liked were that everyone was always on task and got their work submitted in on time. Also I liked that everyone tried their hardest to finish their work on time and do a good job. There were also some things I disliked like not everyone could always make the chat sessions and not everyone could do the voice on the voice thread. Even though not everything in our collaboration went perfect I still had a fun time. I also learned a lot of things. I also liked how nobody ever tried to take over and boss everyone around all the time. Everyone worked hard together to finish our project ion time and make it good enough for everyone to enjoy. So, this collaboration was beneficial to me because it made me a better student.

Hello Andy!
I see you had a fairly good time doing this project. I must ask what are the unique positives of working with people from elsewhere that you would have missed out on if you had just worked with people in your class? (I only asked this because I could only see the unique difficulties and not the unique positive from your post)
Cheers,
